One BIG TUM(t) catchup!

It really did feel like yesterday that I did a TUM(T) post.  My humblest apologies to my partners who have been EVER so patient with me!  I have needed it mind . . . more about that in my blog your heart out posts later this week . . .

My last one was angle so here is SWEET


 Mariette's take that makes me just want to grab some fresh strawberries out of my punnet!

I love satsuma's just as much as I love Creme Eggs!  Okay, I've been living here too long - naartjie - oh my goodness but they don't taste the same!

and DOWN LOW

Pam joined in this week and I really love her capture of Mazoe!  Brings back so many memories for so many different reasons.

Mariette is Queen this week with her ladybird take . . .

and RAIN

With a beautiful image here is Mariette's take on rain, she truly has been a trooper and carried on regardless of the rest of the TUM team.

Pam visited us this week and I really lover her take from the van window - welcome back Pam, we have missed you and it is lovely to have you visiting if only for a while!

and MACHINE

Mariette and I seemed to have the same mood this week and I love our household appliances filled with reflections.

It would appear that Pam and Linda were on the same wavelength too, miles and worlds apart and yet so similar!

and finally, SUNSET

Lovely capture from Mariette.

A different take on the theme from me - the sunset rays were captured on Christy (Model) on the walls of Castle Coch!  (The Red castle.)

Lovely take from Linda

All done and dusted for GROWTH next week - went for a lovely impromptu picnic after work today to Merthyr Mawr - the sand dunes in which scenes from the film @Lawrence of Arabia were shot and when we ventured there today there was a huge camp of film crew setting up. 




Access to the Ogmore castle is by way of 52 stepping-stones that cross the ford of the Ewenny and Ogmore river. Local legend has it that they were laid for a love-sick girl who lived in the castle. Her lover lived across the river, and their meetings were impeded by tides and floods. Apparently the stones served their purpose - the lovers married in 1233.Merthyr Mawr is the largest sand dune system in Europe !
